Excellent additon. I remember saying I was against this because 30 minutes was too long. 15 minutes is loads and the game is absolutely top class.

Its indeed good fun playing this.
Its a rather easy game....challenge you have to search in potting power ball asap and then cue ball back in baulk zone...and keep on potting black...still i have the same feeling as in arcade...everybody can beat everybody.....

Thanks for implementing, Nick.

Power snooker mentions funkypool in the press.

Potentially - but game duration need to be thought about.

First step will be playing a normal power snooker tournament.

Game duration needn't much thought in my view.

Random Tournament Rules said:

Game: Random
Shot time limit: 10 seconds
Round time limit:
900 seconds multiplied by maximum games, plus 210 seconds invite period, rounded up to the nearest minute.


Considering the time limit is 900 seconds. (15 minutes) - The same time as the Power snooker on here. Seems like a perfect fit to me. Obviously it would mean that each round would go the full time limit if the were a Power Snooker game. But I can't see too much of a problem.

Seems like you almost planned the 15 minute games to fit it.

I know, right? And congrats on getting funky recognised

Would be class if the professionals played a little bit in their spare time.

Good point - I was too lazy to check the times! We would have to bump up the time a bit to allow for network delays (each turn change takes around 1-2 seconds, so about 1-2 minutes over a game) but it is a very close fit indeed and no reason it can't be added.

True, like pool (in real life) in this regard.

It's the same as traditional snooker for this rule, as far as I know (first score, be it pot or foul on final black ends frame).

Snookered a guy during a powerplay in the powerzone and he hit the black.... 28 point foul.... awesome

Its pure addictive and the best thing about it is you know exactly how long the game is going to last.

Well done Ronnie & thank you Nick

I hit a cent and got the 50 bonus points.

Hit a cent on the next rack and it didn't give the 100 bonus points.
